FEATURE: Picture Mode Setting

PURPOSE:

There are two image settings you can choose from when storing in the camcorder's memory: FINE and STANDARD. FINE allows you to shoot up to approx. 30 still images in a format based on JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). Since the quality of image is better than “STANDARD”, “FINE” is more suitable for post-production on a PC. “STANDARD” allows you to shoot up to approx. 60 still images in a format based on JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). Since in this mode, twice as many still images can be shot as in the “FINE” mode, select this mode when you wish to shoot many still images.

OPERATION:

1)Set the System Select Switch to “D.S.C.”. Set the Power Switch to “PRO.”.

2)Press MENU. The Menu Screen appears.

3)Rotate the Select Wheel to move the highlight bar to “PICTURE”, and press it. The PICTURE Menu appears.

Rotate the Select Wheel to move the highlight bar to “FINE” or “STANDARD”, and press it. Selection is complete.

4)The Menu Screen reappears with the highlight bar on “RETURN”. Press the Select Wheel again to close the Menu Screen.

NOTES:

●The picture mode’s factory-preset is STANDARD.

●To store the still images you shot, we recommend that

you transfer them to a computer and save them on disk (☞ pg. 45), or transfer them to a VCR connected to the camcorder and record them onto a tape.

●When the Power Switch is set to “CAMERA” (“AUTO” or “PRO.”) and the LCD monitor is opened at an angle of 60 degrees or more, the LCD monitor switches on and the viewfinder switches off automatically to save power. When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD monitor may be difficult to see. If this happens, use the viewfinder instead.

●The Picture Mode can be switched to either “FINE”or “STANDARD”. Since the remaining number of shots available depends on the selected Picture Mode, switching the Picture Mode will vary this number.
